New words/grammar structure
 
Hello everyone.
Today I started a new thread about how should students keep track of the new vocabulary, expressions or grammar topics they learn every class and I got very interesting suggestions. Thank you all for that. However, I still need some help about that, once my students are required (by the school) to have a notebook or a binder to take notes in class. A while ago someone in this wonderful site suggested dividing the notebook into sections but I don �t remember much of this information. If you have any ideas how this works I would love to hear about it. Thanks in advance.

Well, another good idea is to ask student �s to have a little notebook just for vocabulary, so, say, you �re students are learning about house vocab, and they write in their little notebook "house vocabulary" and write the vocab they don �t know. Then when they learn about food vocabulary, they write Food Vocabulary as a title and write more unknown vocab.

Hi there, another good idea is to get the students to use a small address book to record their new words or if they use a file for notes I get them to use a vocab log. I haven �t checked the size of the worksheet, but if you PM me your email I can fwd you a copy of the lesson I do together with the worksheet. Anyone else who is interested in it can also PM me your email and I �ll do the same for you. Have a super weekend...yep it �s ours in the Gulf, Wed to Friday ;o)

My students divide their notebooks by a sheet into a triangle with the page still intact, then labeling their triangle.  If notebooks in Brazil are like the notebooks in Peru, it should be pretty easy.
 
Color coding the edges also works...pink for vocab....blue for grammar...green for expressions
 
Use sticky notes to make tabs.
 
These are easy and cheap...
 
Bom sorte!
